Rewards include 30,000 Merits, 8,000,000 Reputation, 10,000,000 Experience, a 20% increase in the upper limit of troops, a 20% increase in the upper limit of military commanders, three military commander gift packs, three civil servant gift packs, three shadow guard gift packs, 500 magical weapons, and three mysterious gift packs."
Listening to the messages from the system, Lu Ping's mouth curled up slightly.
The rewards for this mission are indeed rich.
Fifty million experience points allowed Lu Ping to level up four levels at once, reaching level twenty-six.
Needless to say, reputation and achievements are also of great use to Lu Ping.
Various gift packs and magical weapons were also available, and the mysterious gift pack could even contain silicon-based compounds and light cavalry, which were all what Lu Ping expected.
Among all the rewards, what Lu Ping values most is the increase in the upper limit of generals and troops.
The lack of sufficient troops is Lu Ping’s biggest problem at this stage, otherwise Lu Ping would not be able to take the capital or even the imperial city.
Lu Ping received a generous reward, as did Tang Qi and others.
Tang Qi and the others were also very happy about this.
"Honey, we're rich this time." Tang Qi said excitedly.
"Yeah, this reward is really good." Xia Mo also sighed.
"Brother, sister-in-law, have you opened the gift package? I got 40,000 cavalry and six kilograms of silicon-based compounds, as well as more than 20 civil and military officials."
Lu Yi came closer and said with a smile.
"Forty thousand cavalry? Six hundred kilograms of silicon-based compounds?" Lu Ping asked in surprise.
"Of course. What do you think? Am I awesome?" Lu Yi said proudly.
"Well, that's really good." Lu Ping exclaimed.
"Brother, what did you offer?" Lu Yi asked again.
"Hehe, look how anxious you are. We haven't even opened yet." Tang Qi said with a smile.
"Then drive quickly." Lu Yi urged.
"Okay, let's start now..." Tang Qi said helplessly.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ping and others opened their gift packs.
In the end, Lu Ping dispatched 120,000 cavalry and 800 kilograms of silicon-based compounds.
Xia Mo and Tang Fang offered 60,000 cavalry, while Tang Qi offered 80,000 cavalry and 1,000 kilograms of silicon-based compounds.
As for the civil officials, military generals and shadow guards, there is no need to mention them. Lu Ping and others have no shortage of military generals. The number of their famous generals combined is close to four thousand.
Compared with military generals, Lu Ping would prefer to get more cavalry.
After opening the gift packages, everyone was busy for a while, and then got down to business.
The increase in the upper limit of military strength and the additional cavalry rewards allowed Lu Ping to finally show his strength.
"Honey, what should we do next?" Tang Qi asked.
"Our goal is clear, which is to capture the capital and the imperial city, but it is clear that our current military strength is far from enough."
"Therefore, we must first capture the four state cities to further increase our military strength. And if we want to capture the state cities, the first thing we must do is to gather together." Lu Ping said slowly.
"Oh, I see. Then I will continue to expand towards Tang Qi. It's just that Tang Fang and Lu Yi are too far away from Tang Qi."
After thinking about it, Xia Mo said.
"I know, but we have to reunite no matter how far we are, even if it takes a little longer."
"Well, we know what to do. I will first meet up with Lu Yi, and then advance in the direction of my sister." Tang Fang nodded in response.
"Yes, that's right. At the same time, Tang Qi and Xia Mo, you can also push each other forward." Lu Ping nodded.
"Um!"
After the discussion, everyone left quickly.
…
the next day.
Lu Ping and the other four took action at the same time and sent out their troops.
Tang Fang and Lu Yi pushed each other forward, and so did Xia Mo and Tang Qi.
Lu Ping naturally would not sit idle either, and began to attack towards Xia Mo.
Lu Ping plans to use a month to complete the triangle closure with Xia Mo and Tang Qi, and then he will clear out the hostile lords in the area and eventually connect the territories into one.
Once the goal is achieved, Lu Ping will launch an attack on the only state capital in the area.
Then, Lu Ping and the other two will turn around and expand southward, thus completing the triangle closure with Tang Fang and Lu Yi.
In this triangular area, there are also two state capitals, one of which is occupied by NPCs and the other is controlled by an American lord.
Lu Ping planned to assign these two state cities to Lu Yi and Tang Fang, while Tang Qi's target was another state city.
This state capital is located 3,000 kilometers above Tang Qi and is also controlled by NPCs.
Thanks to the huge increase in military strength, Lu Ping and his companions' subsequent actions went very smoothly.
In just half a month, Lu Yi and Tang Fang reunited, and Xia Mo and Tang Qi were only 500 kilometers apart. Lu Ping was still 1,500 kilometers away from Xia Mo because he was far away from her.
During this period, Lu Ping and others wiped out a total of nine lords from various countries and captured countless enemy generals.
Seven days later, Tang Qi and Xia Mo officially joined forces, and Lu Ping was less than a thousand kilometers away from Xia Mo.
Tang Qi and Xia Mo then joined forces and launched an attack on the hostile lords in the triangular area.
In just half a month, all the hostile lords in the area were eliminated, and the lords of neutral countries in the area also signed non-aggression treaties with Tang Qi and Xia Mo.
It was Lu Ping's idea to sign a non-aggression treaty with neutral lords. Lu Ping has no shortage of territory or population now. It doesn't make much sense to eliminate them. Instead, it will delay Lu Ping's expansion speed.
More importantly, they will be the backbone of the resistance against the creatures in the Demon Cave in the future, and this is the most important thing.
Of course, the Eagle Sauce Alliance Lord is an exception.
Seven days later, Lu Ping and Xia Mo reunited.
At this point, Lu Ping’s first step of the plan was completed, and the next step was to attack the state capital.
Due to the rapid expansion of the territory and the sharp increase in population, the military strength of Lu Ping and his companions has already reached its upper limit.
Among them, Lu Ping had the largest number of troops, reaching an astonishing scale of 1.3 million, which was unprecedented.
Tang Qi and Xia Mo's military strength also reached 700,000 and 550,000 respectively, while Lu Yi and Tang Fang both had 600,000.
..........
Three days later, Lu Ping, Xia Mo and Tang Qi's two million troops gathered at the foot of the state capital.
Standing in the center of the military formation, Lu Pingyao looked at the city.
There is no difference between the fourth-level provincial city and the third-level one, and the city defense forces have exactly the same strength.
Although Lu Ping's military strength was at a disadvantage, he was still confident in taking the state capital because he had experience in attacking the state capital. It would just take a little longer.
